This seminar introduces participants to Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), an innovative, clinically proven
treatment that encourages patients to play an active role in preventing the return of depression by integrating elements of
mindfulness-based meditative practice with cognitive therapy. This type of learning is experiential in nature and often involves
developing a capacity to allow distressing feelings, thoughts and sensations to occupy awareness, without trying to change them,
replace them with other thoughts, or fix anything about them.
Be prepared to learn through doing, as we explore the actual application of mindfulness practices in teaching MBCT to clients
through guided meditation, simulated patient-therapist encounters, and videotaped segments of actual MBCT classes.
Objectives: Participants will learn about:
• the structure of MBCT and the core therapeutic tasks that
accompany each of the 8 sessions
• the body’s role as a vital terminus for greeting and working
with our emotions
• using the breath as an anchor when turning towards
difficult or unpleasant aspects of our experience
• recognizing when our minds are on automatic pilot and
how this cognitive motor drives rumination and worry
throughout the day
• the Body Scan
• Mindfulness of the Breath
• Three Minute Breathing Space
